A car that reads out emails, Facebook updates unveiled

Scientists have developed what they say is the world's first "Internet Car" which can read out your emails, Facebook and Twitter updates.

The unique Rinspeed BamBoo car can also help motorists behind the wheel surf the net by using a series of voice commands.

To avail the facilities, drivers only need to attach their smart phones or iPads into a charger in the electric car before they set off, the Daily Mail reported.

Designed by global audio and infotainment group Harman, the vehicle also allows drivers to search radio stations with voice commands using it's special "infotainment" technology.

The car was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show recently.

According to Harman, the first cars fitted with the technology could be on the road within 18 months.
